The Ford Mustang Mach-E Rally stands tall when compared with Tesla Model Y Performance, Jaguar I-Pace, and Audi e-Tron S, its main competitors in the electric SUV category.
Range
The Mach-E Rally offers a range of up to 595 km (370 miles), surpassing the Model Y Performance's 488 km (303 miles), the I-Pace's 470 km (292 miles), and the e-Tron S's 370 km (230 miles). Clearly, the Mach-E Rally takes the win in terms of long-distance capability.
Acceleration
With a 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) acceleration time of 3.6 seconds, the Mach-E Rally nearly matches the Model Y (3.5 seconds) and leaves the I-Pace (4.8 seconds) and e-Tron S (4.3 seconds) in the dust. Thus, it's a close second to Tesla's notorious acceleration.
Power
Boasting 487 hp (363 kW), the Mach-E Rally sits comfortably between the Model Y Performance's 456 hp (340 kW) and the higher-end I-Pace at 394 hp (294 kW). The e-Tron S nudges ahead with 496 hp (370 kW), but not by a significant margin.
Charging Time
Charging times are critical for EVs. The Mach-E Rally recharges to 80% in about 45 minutes with fast charging, similar to the Model Y. The I-Pace and e-Tron S are somewhat slower, taking closer to an hour for an 80% top-up.
Price
Pricewise, the Mach-E Rally at $88,180 (€75,700/£65,400) fits snugly between the Model Y Performance's $84,990 (€72,900/£63,100) and the e-Tron S at $89,800 (€77,100/£66,500). The Jaguar I-Pace, starting at $80,500 (€69,100/£59,700), is a tad more affordable. The balance of performance, range, and cost makes the Mach-E Rally a formidable contender in the electric SUV market.
